Elena was so incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to support me in my matter with the LTB. She was thoughtful and knowledgeable and was able to help me to sort out what I needed to accomplish. It was a fluke that she had a few minutes to talk to me, and this organization needs more funding so that more lawyers are able to help people who are struggling.

Elena Dempsey is the best lawyer! Hands down! I cannot say enough positive things about this lawyer! Elena is goal oriented and gets the job done in a very professional, yet pit bull kind of way! 😉

Elena seems to know it all when it comes to her job! I am so thankful that I received her help during a very, VERY stressful time. Elena was reassuring and I learned a lot from her along the way that I will keep with me forever.

GOAL ORIENTED!
THANK-YOU ELENA DEMPSEY!

Highly professional, extensive knowledge of the Landlord tenant act. I've used their service with exceptional success. Landlord tenant lawyer was terrific. My only greivence is for all Elgin county their is only one lawyer. How can the provincial government expect Ms. Dempsey to help all in need. Because of her heavy workload she could not represent me in court. I am still awaiting a verdict. If my 7yr old n I are evicted I blame the government for not enough funding to provide free or low cost council for those in need. My case is not for non payment of rent but being a layman I didn't know proper terminology to express my position.

Elena and the office staff were extremely helpful in our matter. They went above and beyond at all times to ensure they had everything they needed to present our case. They couldn't have done more if they tried. Thank you Elena and staff!

I can not say enough good about
Elena Dempsey. During one of the most stressful legal experiences I have gone through, she was there to fight for me. I was in awe with her professionalism and endless knowledge during her time spent on my case and in the court room. She took what felt like a hopeless case and won for me. Thank you Elena!

I had to deal with landlord issues for almost 2 years and my lawyer at the elgin oxford legal clinic was amazing. She always helped answer any questions I had, she worked very hard and professionally. She was always there even though she's working on so many other cases.

Used to be really good. This year not so much. I don't even like calling anymore. They seem to forget we're calling for advice, not to be criticized because we didn't know something. That's why we're calling in the first place.

Elgin Oxford Legal Clinic is an excellent resource for low income people to seek help with landlord tenant matters ,Ontario Works and ODSP among other non criminal related legal matters. If you live in Oxford or Elgin County and have been denied on your application for ODSP and want to appeal the decision then this is the place to go. They will represent/handle your appeal for you. All they ask in return is that if you win your appeal that you reimburse them their expenses. A voluntary donation over and above expenses is greatly appreciated as well. Many people actually give them between a 5-10 % donation over and above expenses since when you win your back pay can amount to a good amount and if you consider what a lawyer would have cost you to do this for you. Great service and remember they are a non profit agency supported purely by donations.
